Oh, Mojang...

Amazon's servers are down.Minecraft's servers are hosted by Amazon, so skins, session, website and login are down. Even Mojang can't tell when they'll be back up, but Amazon has several teams on the job. Once it's fixed, there'll probably will be errors like this every few hours for 24 hours.

are you that much of an addict that you can't chill for a bit? i mean i'm a pretty degenerate addict when it comes to minecraft but i can always switch over to playing Call of Duty for a bit while this gets sorted. besides, this could be days before they get this back up. it's AWS after all.
